I think if he requested a trade there is a decent possibility Port would grant it, but we'd probably have to give up something like a future second to get him. he's a talented player and a similar style ruckman to Max in my opinion 205cm Giant

Tell them they can have the Weed and we'll take Rozee and Hayes.

 

Young Ashcroft has nominated for Brisbane under the father/son rule. He was rumoured to go number 1 in the draft.

Does this help Freo to get Brisbane's first round pick which I assume will be around 16-18 by trading a bundle of lesser picks

Cal had him no.1 in this latest phantom draft. Opens Freo's options up a bit for getting a pick in you'd think.

No, it won't help at all. Freo have already traded out their 2nd and 3rd round picks this year, it might have helped them if they had these but unless there's a 3rd party involved then I can't see Brissy's pick going anywhere near them.

What if they get a swag of picks for Lobb?

That'd be a 3rd party that's involved, and really the only way they'd have anything to entice Brisbane with. They could also trade future picks to get back into this years draft or trade other players, but as it stands now they've got nothing to offer Brisbane. We'd be better off sending our 2nd, 3rd and Adelaide's 3rd to Brissy for their 1st.

Under the F/S rule, if another club nominates Ashcroft at their highest pick, does that mean Freo then have match with their highest pick? (Thinking of Luke McDonald a while back)

He sounds like he is worth high pick regardless, but just highlighting that Freo may still need to use their top pick on him if another club goes for him?

You mean Lions.


Each pick has a points value. If North bid on Ashcroft with their pick 1, Brisbane need to find enough points to match that bid (less the 20% discount for father / son selections). I don't see how Brisbane could get both Ashcroft & Fletcher without trading in a bunch of picks given their current selections.

Yes, the Lions, will have to match it - but with points. They will get a discount of 20%. All picks are assigned a value, so for instance if North bid pick 1, the Lions will have to come up with 2,400 points. At the moment they have picks 14 (worth 1,161 points), pick 32 (worth 582), and pick  68 (worth 59 points) of their own and also Port Adelaide's 3rd (pick 43 worth 378 points). So all up they only have 2,180 points at the moment. They can go negative next year, but they also have Fletcher coming through who might get a bid i the early 20s. So they'll be desperate to find more draft picks this year.

West Coast and Gold Coast will be in the box seat for the Lions 1st pick with the best value of 2nd and 3rd rounders.

They can only take as many picks to the draft as list spots they have available can't they? So if they have 4 lists spots available they can only use 4 draft picks. They changed the rules a few years ago to stop teams trading a number 3 pick for example for 5 picks in the 30s.

Gold Coast in particular - they've also got the Pie's and Freo's 2nd rounders and the Pie's 3rd, so a heap of pick's/points to offer up.

I think clubs can apply to the AFL if they have a need for extra points, so they can accumulate extra picks. The AFL just don't want to see teams passing on picks in the first 2 rounds.

Thanks....Didn't appreciate what a relatively low value pick 14 has. As you say they will be desperate for picks.

Seems that Father Son isn't what it used to be. In simple terms you get a pick 1 at round about a pick 5 price.

Then again there is the need for another club to nominate him as Number 1 etc. I see the Dogs took Darcy as a 2 pick last year

At least the Buddy move will keep Jackson out of the spotlight for some time.

Crazy reaction Because we all are posting largely irrelevant stupid and untruthful comments is not Jacko's fault.

Its our right but we are so keen to post our 3c worth it's become a free for all rubbish topic.  We don't  need to read most of the offerings as they are off the mark anyway.

I think we are all up the Creek without a paddle and the thread is giving me the Schitts.

I wouldn't be surprised if West Coast are the one's that have made the God father offer and have been the team he's going to the entire time.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
